Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 pickle spears, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until it softens.
  • Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 18 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover again for 2 minutes so the cheese melts.
  • Serve the skillet hot with pickle spears on the side.

Notes

Let the skillet rest for a minute after adding the cheese so it melts smoothly without becoming greasy. If the rice seems dry when reheating leftovers, add a splash of broth before warming it on the stove. Skip the onion if your kids are sensitive to texture and the dish will still taste like a cheeseburger.
